A Short Review of Multivariate T-Distribution

 

B.M.G. Kibria and A.H. Joarder (2006). A Short Review of Multivariate T-Distribution. Journal of Statistical Research, Vol. 40, No. 1, pp.  59-72.

 

Abstract

This paper reviews most important properties of a location-scale multivariate t-distribution. A conditional representation of the distribution is exploited to outline moments, characteristic function, marginal and conditional distributions, distribution of linear combinations and quadratic forms. Stochastic representation is also used to determine the covariance matrix of the distribution. It also makes an attempt to justify an uncorrelated t- model and overviews distribution of the sum of products matrix and correlation matrix. Estimation strategies for parameters of the model is briefly discussed. Finally the recent trend of linear regression with the uncorrelated t- model is discussed.
